Boards Can Make or Break a Transformation

Boston Consulting Group (Apr 11, 2024) "Boards Can Make or Break a Transformation" argues that in environments of continuous transformation, business-as-usual oversight is not enough — boards must engage with management more frequently and proactively. When engaged early as thought partners and strategic stewards, boards become the difference between good intentions and great results, and they can materially improve odds of success by designing incentive plans that tie reward to the specific decisions, behaviours and accountability required. Directly relevant for SEA mid-market boards whose involvement in transformation today ends with sign-off on the original case rather than ongoing course-correction.
